Thanks for reminding me who'd used the whisker, Diane! I was leaning toward it being you, but would have had to check my photos and notes to be sure. What I...
While I realize you said that friends give you whiskers, how do they get them from the cat? Surely nobody cuts off a cat's whiskers! My husband made combs...
I'm sure Diane's friends get those whiskers just as I do -- picking them up from the floor or furniture where the cats have shed them! Lavinia On Mon, 9 Feb...
Cat whiskers are shed on occasions....I personally like the idea of the acupuncture needle...but since I work in Methol and in such a large vat my fine lines...

Hi Rhonda.... let me guess... you are using a buffered archival paper. They simply do not work. tell me what you are using. The alum is about half the usual...
Hey Rhonda.... I thought you emailed me privately.... in any case, I guess this should go to the group because so many people are writing me all the time...
Hi, Iris, You are always so generous to share your experience and knowledge. Is there a way to test for the presence of calcium carbonate other than to watch...
Thanks so much Iris! Yes you are probably right about the paper. I had prepared several different kinds of paper yesterday as I wanted to expiriment. And after...

Iris, I was involved in the paper industry for over 35 years and involved in the paper chemicals for 25 of those years. There are a few things in your post...
Thanks for this info, it all helps. We knew in the past about the rosin sizing, which actually, if too much would prevent color attachment as well. I have a...

Hi Thanks.... if I could find a nice 70lb, possibly 65 offset vellum in 25 X 38 (cut to 19 X 25) that worked I'd be real happy. My distributor for the...
Thanks so much. You are all wonderful. I am still using squirreled away papers and I almost gave away a bunch thinking they were bad-acid papers because they...
This is exactly why I make my own papers, although I wish there was more information on the chemistry behind both paper making, and marbling. I'm starting a...
Hi Athena and marblers.... that's great. If I were to make paper I would need thousands of sheets a year at least. I would, if I could, like to approximate the...
Sorry about all the wierdness in my message. I believe it'sa because I copied and pasted those parts from a Microsoft Word document, so it came out here as...

Hi...yes the Kraft works well, but I have only found 50lb paper in rolls. Too light. For now will be content to marble on the Blick paper and keep marbling at...
